Description

There really isn’t anything quite like ski touring in Patagonia. And, during this incredible 11-day adventure, that is exactly what you will get to do, with a focus on the Cerro Castillo in Chile, in the Aysen Region.

Our adventure will begin after your arrival in the Balmaceda airport. From there we will go to the town of Coyhaique. After that, we will go to the Villa Cerro Castillo, where we will spend the night. On the following day, our first ski touring adventure will take place at the Portozuelo Ibanez. After that, and for the next 3 days, we will be ski touring on the gorgeous Cerro Castillo.

On the sixth day, we will venture to a new area: Puerto Guadal, where we will spend the night. For the following 3 days, we will be ski touring around the Santa Theresa Valley, which is full of great slopes and views.

On the tenth day of the trip we will return to Coyhaique, where we will enjoy a delicious barbecue and the day after that, we will transfer you to the Balmaceda Airport, where you can catch your flight home.

This trip is for experienced skiers, who can ski tour at a minimum intermediate level. You should also be in good physical condition.

Patagonia is an incredible place to ski tour. That is why I have no doubt you’ll love this trip. To join me, please send a request.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
